"Super Boy" - clones of the "Super Mario Bros" series, created by the South Korean company Zemina, the largest manufacturer of games for the domestic market, mainly on their own platform Daewoo Zemmix (a complete clone of the MSX BC, designed in the format of a game console). The line, numbering four games, started in 1989 with the first part and in the same year was ported by the developer to the SG-1000 / Sega Master System. The next two parts of the franchise came out with an interval of a year and were also immediately ported to Sega consoles, representing all the same clones of Italian-Japanese platformers, adjusted for the extremely weak hardware of the original platform: very slow animation, torn scrolling and a fierce limitation on the number of moving elements on the screen - almost pixel-by-pixel console ports have fully adopted the same drawbacks. However, the last one, the fourth part of the franchise was originally developed exclusively for the Sega Master System, and besides, it almost completely moved away from direct copying of Mario, thanks to which, in the end, it turned out to be a very decent game by the standards of Asian bootlegs. The dumps were taken from Korean physical carriers in different years.

these FUCKING SUCK
my friend was playing these games and we noticed that the first 3 games are not only considerably darker but the first game corrupts every time you try to pause sometimes even restarting, the second one restarts every time you pause, and the third and fourth one dont even pause at all
dunno if the pausing shit is part of the game but if not then horrible dumps 0/10 do not recommend
